Oùcécap’s take

Saint-Sulpice makes the perfect landmark for the Louvre Museum: from there, it lies due north, at 3°, 1.1 km away. From the Centre Pompidou it is due west, at 273°, 1.2 km off, and from the Eiffel Tower it is east, at 84°, 3 km away. From Notre-Dame, turn north-west, to 311°, 1.4 km. And if you are still unsure, remember that it lines the Seine, on the Right Bank.
